I have a question about Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) or other financial support...

Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) are by the Australian Government. To be eligible for a CSP, you need to meet the criteria, including being an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen, or permanent visa holder. Refer to the Australian Government Study Assist website for more information.

In a CSP, your university fees are reduced, and you may be eligible to defer your student contribution (the remaining fees that you pay) to HECS-HELP. With HECS-HELP you do not have to make repayments until you are working and earning more than the repayment threshold.

Note that some places (especially in postgraduate coursework degrees) are only offered as full-fee. Full-fee places are not subsidised by the Australian Government, and can't be deferred to HECS. If eligible, you may be able to take out a FEE-HELP loan.

Up front payments- If you have a CSP you can still make up front payments to your student contribution or SSAF. Check your statement of account for payment options (including credit card, BPAY and bank transfer).

Deferring your fees

If eligible to defer your student contribution to HECS-HELP, complete an Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) in StudentOnLine before census date.

If eligible to defer your student contribution to HECS-HELP, complete an Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) on the OUA website before census date.

Open access subjects allow you to get a feel of what it's like to study a topic under a specific discipline area. They also provide you with an opportunity to assess your own ability to cope with a fast paced online delivery mechanism. This will help you to get an understanding of online study and give you a real feel of what you would commit to if you were to undertake a course in fully online mode. You an also prepare to balance your lifestyle accordingly.

Note: Open Access subjects are not a direct pathway into the CSP course and completing it does not guarantee a CSP in to the course. Students wishing to apply for a course after successful completion of the open access subject will be assessed by course rules defined by La Trobe University. If eligible, the student can then use the successfully completed open access subject towards advanced standing credits, if applicable.

Open Access subjects are non-award/non Commonwealth Support Places and aren't eligible for university loans or HECS-HELP.

If you have been offered a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) you must complete the HECS-HELP eCAF, even if you pay 'up front'.

All eCAFs are completed on StudentOnLine. Click on the eCAF tab and carefully read the instructions.

Do NOT complete an eCAF if you are:
• Enrolled in an Open Access subject
• An international student.

Yes, FEE-HELP is available to domestic students enrolled in a Commonwealth Support Place. For more information on FEE-Help please refer to the Australian Government Study Assist website.
